RE: KMP Bearcat
I can not comment on the motor and weight but can tell you the esm and KMP are one and the same "models" ESM = easy soring models they are the manufacturer now being distributed in the USA by Troy Built Models and VQ Models. KMP is a distributor based on Canada that no longer distributes esm in the USA. I know with my short nose warbirds I mount the servos and all flight support ex receiver , flight back and everything possible up front ahead of the suggested CG .

RE: TOP FLITE GS ARF's & RTC's
Well I am not Jewish but my father spent three years in a work camp as an American prisoner . While my dad was alive he could not even talk about his horrors until he was in his late 70ties . So I can understand the sensitivity however I build the models as historic replicas for there engineering performance not for the political background . However in the states it's unfortunate that outside of modeling the German symbol has never been used (typically ) for historic purposes but in more cases to simply elevate tension with hate groups such as the KKK , skinheads and other hate groups. So unfortunitly when used by RCers for simple purpose of building scale replicas we find ourselves in discussions or rederic on "why" when it's not about why it's about fact in replication. I think the bigger modeling companies have reason for concern but I would still produce the model as manufactured and seen in WW2 with the facts that they produce scale replicas and nothing less

RE: My stupidity -can I fix my prop ?
Hey Steve , thanks for the advice , yes its an eletric for my 79" P40 . The Fox reemer was stepped in 8 to 10 to 12 , being right handed I started the process and was very careful in turning and eyeing my process . The back hold was the one that appeared off when looking at the scibed cirle that is in the prop from the factory . I knew as soon as I placed the prop on the shaft that I had made an error. I immeditly thought well if the prop is trash I might as well experiement with getting the hole straight . So that is why I filled with 60 glass reinforced expoxy (that part seems to have work really well :) ) . Ok , so from this point on seems that after I test the prop , my future is getting the step tools, drilling from the back side and following the rest of the advice !. I did one small test today because I spent most of my free time flying . The test was to set the prop on the shaft and allow it to touch the wall as i slowly turned the prop , I was precise in this test , as precise as possible (no power applied ) just hand spinning . Each prop seem true when approaching the wall , it was all or nothing , they either all cleared or all rubbed at the exact same point with same visual friction . Tommorow night I will try my prop under power and look for the things stated above , Thanks Lou and Happy 4th

My stupidity -can I fix my prop ?
Purchased a beautiful prop three blade from Troy built models 17-8 three blade. Purchased a 12mm fox reemer to enlarge the hole So thinking I did everything right I started to gemtly and precisely turn the reemer. Thinking I did the perfect job I sit the prop on my electric motor and it sits on an a angle . To my shock while turning the reemer I must have pressured the cut off from front to back . So thinking I just blew $65 bucks , I did the next best stupid thing , I filled the hole with fiberglass reinforced 60 min expoxy and retapped with a drill bit vs the Fox reemer . Now the prop sits perfectly but when visually looking at the front guild circle it's appears perfect , but the rear hold still looks off , yet it's sits perfect on the motor shaft . Any suggestions ? Measuring seems dead on but the we are talking such small measurements that it's difficult to see with the nacked eye? Is my prop ruined and how do you prevent this , I really waited and patiently thought my process was correct . Even the reemer went for 8 to 10 up to 12 mm in slow turns for accuracy

RE: Suggestions for P40 canopy movement activation
Thanks Skip , I did the same thing with my drill press , made a wood jig that hold the brass rail , then adjusted the drill press in proper height . I used the same cutting tool as you did , followed by a sanding wheel to clean the cut . Then I got a plastic H frame , sanded to fit and it's glided perfectly .
